Hello,
My computer is ASUS Aspire Atheros, dual boot Ubuntu/Windows 7
I was working on ubuntu laptop, then I go tired and just closed the computer cover (screen). The computer went to sleep. About an hour later, I tried using it it wouldnt boot up anymore.
I created a live-USB flash drive using another computer, and booted into the computer using that. Then ran boot repair, it said it was successful.
However it still cant boot. I have valuable files on there I spent over a year working on, but the stupid thing wont boot, trying to ruin my life by making me loose all my work.
Here is the URL I got from running the boot repair (no idea what good is a URL) http://paste.ubuntu.com/6169668
Here is the information (attached) after running the boot info script below.
Does anybody know how I can get my computer to boot again, I'm so desperate I'm willing to pay someone who can get it to boot again.

NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.
